Ninja 250R Rear Hugger
We have all spent so much time drooling over the A-Tech Carbon Fiber Rear Hugger (Which is still second to none IMHO) but it can be a bit pricey and a tad complicated to import into the US. Finally, along comes Skidmarx from across the other pond with their new carbon fiber hugger for 08 and 09 Ninja 250R’s.
Granted, it’s still not in the US, but getting stuff out of the UK is a lil’ bit simpler than having to bribe someone from Japan to smuggle a chunk of carbon fiber in their rectum for an intercontinental flight. (He says he used a ’service’ but common… we know the truth.) That being said, with the pound/dollar ratio being at an all time low, this hugger is a real bargain. Coming in two flavors, Black, and Carbon Fiber prices start right around 100$ USD (Plush VAT and shipping). Overall, a pretty sweet piece for the price!

I found a distributor in the states for the rear hugger and the double bubble windscreen from skidmarx. the website is http://www.streetfightersbydesign.com and he has access to both the the black and carbon fibre huggers and the windscreen in a dark tint. the guy at streetfighters name is David Cork and he replied to my inquiries within 24 hours. the black hugger goes for $165 and the carbon one goes for $265. the double bubble goes for $99. hope this helps out. once i get mine ill post some pics….

I put a 150/60/17 size tire on my 250, will this hugger work for me or is the tire to wide?

the rear hugger is great for keeping dirt, etc. from getting all over your shock and other hard to clean areas.
